Keep an eye out for posts in the Events forum.
Sometimes people will post if they're going to be out somewhere that night...though a good majority of the guys here (that I know) go to 21 and up bars.
I know there are a few 18+'s here that make it out to some of the Dallas 18+ clubs pretty frequently, but I'll leave it to them to reveal themselves.
As far as 21+ stuff, since you'll be 21 soon, the Dallas crew frequently hits Black Finn in Adddison on Mondays...then on Fri/Sat you can bet someone is doing something somewhere.
If you're looking for help or to get to know some of the guys, your best bet is really just to make it out to one of the 1st/3rd Friday meetups and get to know some people at cabana before you actually hit the bar/venue.
One thing about the meetups....if you go, you aren't going to be handed skill on a silver platter. You have to try for it....and you'll have a hell of a good time if you do.
First time I went out to one, I remember going home feeling pretty pumped only because I stuck around and actually tried opening sets etc.
There are always plenty of people there who can help you, but it seems like new guys rarely ask for help.....or get cold feet and bail really quickly.
Don't be one of those.
The only way to overcome AA is to force yourself to overcome it. Once you do that, you'll realize approaching isn't a big deal at all, and you won't have a problem.
Just keep that in mind when you're thinking about opening that first set.
